The most hilarious thing about Islam is that it is most likely the result of hallucinations from a brain tumor. Which is what most modern historians agree was the case with Mohammed.

I have very little doubt that hallucinations/lies were what caused the "preaching" of other prophets, including Jesus.

Well, first, I rated Jesus above Muhammad. I put Nate Silver below because he obviously hasn't really done anything, in a historic sense, besides making some correct predictions.

Second, what Muhammad did with regard to taking wives (underage wives at that), while disgusting, wasn't anything out of the norm for Arabic culture (or many other cultures) at the time. I think it's only fair to look at people in the time period and society we live in, or else we should be pointing to George Washington as a despicable, horrible piece of sh*t person, because he supported slavery and owned human beings. But we don't, because, at the time, that was seen as normal and not unethical. Muhammad did however enact a number of reforms that improved the lives of the poor and women in Arab society, some of which wouldn't be enacted in Europe until the 19th century.
